Rural Crash Risks in York County
Crashes on narrow rural roads like Cemetery Rd and Cranberry Meadow Rd are a recurring issue in Berwick and surrounding parts of York County. These areas often lack wide shoulders, feature sharp turns, and can be difficult to navigate after dark. Combined with commuter and local traffic, the potential for collisions is significant.
Though this particular crash involved only one confirmed injury, similar incidents can lead to severe consequences, especially if speeds are high or visibility is low. Law enforcement urges drivers to approach rural intersections with caution, reduce speeds, and remain vigilant for oncoming traffic.
Even a single injury can leave victims facing hospital bills, time away from work, and long recoveries. Taking preventive measures helps reduce these risks, but accidents can still happen despite best efforts.
